Edward STILLINGFLEET 1635-1699
Biographical Note
Bishop of Worcester. His library (ca.10000 volumes) was divided mainly between Narcissus Marsh, who bought the printed books for £2500 in 1705 (thus becoming one of the major components of Marsh's Library in Dublin), and Sir Robert Harley, who bought the manuscripts for £175 in 1707 (these, therefore, are now among the Harleian Manuscripts in the British Library).
